Benefits of habits vs
Disadvantages of habits
18. Advantages
Habits help us for smooth functioning
Habitual actions cost us little effort
and less strain
Habits do not require our conscious
attention
Habitual actions save our time
Habits make our movements simpler,
quicker and more accurate
Our activities do not become tiresome
(no fatigue)
Since the activities become automatic,
we do not need our higher mental
processes like thinking, reasoning,
creativity, etc. for these activities and
such abilities can be used for other
better activities.
Good habits provide feelings of
stableness and security.
Disadvantages
There is danger of becoming slaves of
our habits
There will not be any scope for
thinking or creativity
We cannot learn new things
Our actions become mechanical
Habits interfere in our other activities
We feel highly disturbed when we have
to make any adjustment or change in
our routine like eating, sleeping, etc.
There may be negative effects both
physical and psychological. For
example, if there is any change in
timing of sleep, food, etc. we feel
highly disturbed both physically and
mentally such as sleeplessness,
indigestion, nausea, mood upset, etc.
